Walpurgis Night, also known as Valborg is celebrated on the last day of March. The celebration originated in Germany but spread to North and Central Europe. It is originally a Christian celebration, however, farmers adopted the holiday to celebrate the start of spring which for them is far more important. It is said that the burnable debris is collected and burnt to scare away bad spirits. Furthermore, students would gather the people of the village for the celebration, and since they were not allowed to use the church bell they instead started a big bonfire which the inhabitants would gather around.^ref Even today students play a central role in the celebration which has made the two student cities of Lund and Uppsala famous for Valborg.

The bone fire takes place in Lund city park. On this day the pond is fenced in so that drunk people do not enter and the park is patrolled by police and volunteers from a animal activist group.

As the evening fell a few women entered the lawn and danced with torches. After their dance was over they poked their torches into the wood and the bonfire reached for the sky. The park grew silent and people did nothing but admired the fire. Even after an hour had passed people still watched the fire. People left a few at a time and once all the fuel had burnt the crowd finally returned home.
